Proceeding contribution from Lord Knight of Weymouth (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 17 November 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Education and Skills Bill.


Education and Skills Bill

Excellent. I am pleased to hear that. I think that it was in Portslade, in my hon. Friend's constituency, where I visited one of the most excellent examples of a primary school encouraging young people to read. I would commend it to the hon. Member for Bognor Regis and Littlehampton (Mr. Gibb), because I know of his passionate interest in the subject. I think that I have responded to the points that have been made. I hope that the House will support the amendments made in the other place, but clearly it is up to those who feel passionately that we are doing the wrong thing to vote against them. Lords amendment agreed to. Lords amendments Nos. 25 to 40 agreed to [some with Special Entry].
